Alexander's Steak House

All the ambience of a Ponderosa with the prices of a Ruth's Chris.  I had a filet shish kabob that was gristly, though well portioned.  The baked potato was also on the large side, but what benefit is that if the taste is not there? And yet, the place was packed on a Sunday night.  Go figure. On the odd chance that I happened on a bad cut of meat, I still will not go back primarily because I don't see why one should pay so much for a meal you have to cook in an establishment that lacks character.

The salad bar and steak was great..  not so happy with the service though.  If you are getting the early-bird special be sure to ask where to get it.  Our ticket was also messed up and after one attempt to fix it, we just figured out the correct amount amongst our group of 4.

I think I would go back, but just for the food!  And I will cook my steak for longer..

Visited while in town with family.  Interesting concept this place has.

Pick your steak, walk over to a large charcoal grill, and cook it up yourself.  Yep, baffled me a bit as well, isn't the whole point to have someone else prepare a meal for you?

A large salad bar awaits, texas toast and baked potatoes are near the grill, so you can heat those up as well with your steak.

I had the staff cook mine, and the Santa Maria was excellent.  Seasoned well, and cooked low enough so that the flavors still shined through.

Not a vegan's type of place. But if you need meat and carbs, dive in.
